  • Human "intelligence"

    Humans *aren't* "intelligent beings", they are just as "intelligent"
    as any other animal. The advantage of humans is in speech, which,
    obviously, didn't emerge because of intelligence, but because humans
    evolved in environment which promotes vocal communication, rocky sea coast.

    It wasn't fair.

    Human cooperation is based on communication.

    The so called "Test" is rigged in favor of the ants. They work
    the way they evolved to work, humans don't.

    Ah, I get it. So, intelligence doesn't matter at all, the important
    thing is if some animal has experience in the test. So, if you give a
    dog to drive a car, then experience doesn't matter, then dog is stupid
    because he cannot drive a car.
    Ah, I am getting it, you are stupid as hell. Actually, you are convinced that you can say any stupid BS here, because you are doing
    this in the name of Jesus Christ. Whatever I write, you are writing the opposite, and it doesn't matter if it has any sense, you have the right
    to oppose me, because that way you are defending Jesus Christ.
    Just the other day we were discussing a test where dog cannot drive a
    car, and you concluded that he cannot do this because he is stupid.
    Right now you are writing exactly the opposite. Hm, in a distance of few
    days, or weeks. Interestingly. And you are writing it like it doesn't
    matter. Interestingly.

    Of course you don't.

    The test was testing for something they already knew: Ants work
    like ants, humans do not work like ants.

    That's it. That was the test.

    i once or thrice speculated on an alien species NOT like any
    Star Trek humanoid but more like a large, hyper intelligent
    insect.

    Could be that a sort of "Collective Intelligence" has a ceiling,
    can only get you so far, but if it doesn't then what would such
    a species look like? How would their civilization differ from
    our own?

    I only say this because it's really boring to read your trolling
    and perhaps the exercise will help you to grasp the chasm
    between ant & human intelligence.
